Dust of the Earth
by Donnalynn Hess

Donnalynn Hess’s fictional biography, Dust of the Earth, begins in the 1930s when JT Pace is a schoolboy. This son of a black sharecropper approaches the difficulties of his life with ingenuity and determination, and those around him think that he is successful. Only he knows the shame and embarrassment he feels as he hides his inability to read. This Christian fiction tells how at age sixty-two JT finally overcame all obstacles and achieved his ultimate desire: to read the Word of God for himself.

Also available: Overcomer Set book and DVD featuring actual footage of an interview with JT Pace.
